David Sims

The Atlantic

It is especially impressive that Days of Future Past is a success; a film this gooey and complex, with such business-minded scope, should not feel like a real movie at all.

Vanity Fair

In an age when more and more movies just feel like stepping-stones toward the next, bigger things, is it so much to ask that it be a good movie all on its own?

At the Movies (Australia)

I guess I am a sucker for these sort of time travel films, travelling back in time to change the course of history.

Rated: 3.5/5

While more action would of been ideal, there are some great character moments here that this franchise is known for.

For the Win (USA Today)

You can feel the gripping emotional undercurrent, admire the level of difficulty in the story that’s told or just rewatch at the Quicksilver “Time in a Bottle” sequence to really appreciate how great this movie is.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Effectively united some of the elements that X-Men fans had been waiting years to see, though doesn't quite due justice to the source material and squanders the good will of what X-Men: First Class earned the series.

Rated: 4/5

As much as I hated this - and believe me, I HATED it - watching it was less painful than recovering from surgical kidney removal. "retcon" is just another way to say "lazy film making".

Easily one of the best X-men films out there. The cast is outstanding, the emotions are intense, and the action is through the roof. Very few flaws find their way into this movie.

This movie was one of the better X-Men films. The story helps to fix some major plot holes.

It's legitimately hilarious to me that 20th Century Fox knew they messed up when they killed off or otherwise invalidated most of the central characters in X-Men: The Last Stand and spent the next eight years retconning it.

This movie is amazing! This movie is what my brother calls a sequel-prequel-reboot. Please Marvel, give us movies like this!
